Maybe if she walks in front and tries not to think about him the curse won't be so nagging at her head. She's obviously not going to - what, give in? Would that be the right word? But no sense making it worse than it needs to be.

They can walk quietly for a few hours. They pass a few ruins, rotted-out building frames, old crumbling walls. They pass a stable, and Link takes them on a path out in the rolling fields a ways so they avoid other people. Someone sees them and shouts, but doesn't follow them when Link angles away and around a hill. They have to deal with monsters again at one point, but they're as easily dispatched as before. Soon enough, a tall cliff with outcrops of stonework is visible.

"That's where we're going. The abandoned temple is up on that plateau. I have a way to get you up - a glider, and wind magic. I get you up with the wind, you toss it back down, then I come up. Sound okay?"

They can go do that, then. She's a bit nervous for her glider, but risks must be taken in any adventure!

"So, you hold it like this, and when the wind takes you up to the top of the plateau swing your legs forward, you'll tilt forward and go over and land. Hold on tight when I make the updraft, you hear?"

Link follows up on the glider a moment later. "Not so hard a trip, yeah? Look, you can see the temple from here..." It's up a long upward slope, and then a long set of stairs, and seems to be partly collapsed - all the sturctures around here are less ruined than those below, but still ruined. But it's definitely a large, cathedral-like building.

"Just... Neglect. Only one other person lives up here now. Abandoned and empty. Just like all the ruins. It used to be a holy place. Still is, I suppose... Some of the towns further away from the castle are better off."

"Yeah! I don't know! But it's pretty clear he does, since the Guardians basically slaughtered everything. You saw all those ruins, yeah? It's a lot worse near the castle. I snuck close and looked, once."
